Well i'm sorry i triggered that reaction with my post.
Yup, pretty much.
It may seem a bit weaker on paper, but not to the point that it matters for ports. If it's like 1Tflop GCN 1.2 with comparable CPU and RAM configuration, that's more efficient than what the One has, which narrows the difference even more (it wouldn't be that big in the first place, the X1 is 1.2-1.3tflops). That's without considering that engines are highly scalable, so unless Nintendo went full underpowered (e.g. 4 ARM cores, 500Gflops, 6GB of RAM) to the point that third parties wouldn't bother downgrading their games to make them run on the NX, specs won't be a problem even if they don't fully match the MS console.
It's not like Nintendo's gonna get them back anytime soon either way. It's just too late in the generation for Nintendo to make any meaningful impact on the marketshare that Sony & Microsoft have. As for the NX Console being underpowered, note what Emily & Trev said about apples & oranges. Seeing as, according to Emily, the NX Platform doesn't use x86 (likely using ARM, probably to line up with the NX Handheld), direct comparisons with the x86 Twins aren't easy. And as long as the real-world performance is within the PS4/XB1 ballpark, ports shouldn't be a problem. One of our own (who's Bish-approved) pretty much confirmed that to be the case. And even with the PS4K/PS4 Neo on the way, devs are still required to support the base PS4. The only thing that will hold Nintendo back in terms of getting western third party support is their audience, & there's no easy fix for that.
Nintendo will definitely have Japanese & indie support at launch or within the platform's launch window. The problem here are the western publishers. And as of now, they have no reason to support Nintendo since the audience that western publishers typically go after aren't on Nintendo platforms. And even with marketing, we're still within the height of the PS4 & XB1's popularity (more so the former), as stated earlier. Had this been the beginning of a new generation, maybe Nintendo would have a chance at a massive comeback. But this late, especially with Sony tightening its grip on the market via the PS4K, Nintendo's pretty much guaranteed 3rd Place. The best thing they can do now is minimize software droughts for their own output as much as possible (hence Iwata wanting to make the console & handheld "like brothers") & diversify their line-up enough to cultivate the audience that western publishers want so that they may eventually give Nintendo a fair shake. Obviously it won't work within a short-period of time, nor should we expect it to. But given the hole Nintendo's in, it'll take a long time for them to get out. It's the long road, but it's the road worth taking.
But there's no point in trying, at least not now. Given that Nintendo's launching in the middle of the generation, they need to start the foundation for a long-term fix in terms of gaining core gamers & winning back the trust of western publishers. So when the next wave of NX hardware drops, more western publishers will be there at launch rather than sitting on the fence.
But that's just it, those western publishers won't support Nintendo unless they know that there's an audience for their games on the platform. And even if they support Nintendo early on, they'll bail out the second they find out that the Nintendo audience doesn't give a shit. It's on Nintendo to build up a AAA core gaming audience on their own to where said western publishers will give a shit & actually find some success on the NX Platform. Until that happens, it'll mostly be Japanese publishers & indie devs on the NX Platform.
It's a chicken-or-the-egg situation, & the responsibility is purely on Nintendo to fix the issue. Said western publishers have no reason to believe that the Nintendo audience will give a shit, so it's on Nintendo to prove it.
Because the mainline Devil May Cry franchise is a great action game series & is totally worth your time. If the game is good & if the audience is there, people will care. But the key words are "if the audience is there".
So even if Nintendo puts more advertising dollars for said third party games, it's not like those western publishers will instantly be encouraged to put more effort into their ports. They need a reason to believe that the audience will be there before they try as hard as they do for the other two.
Because western publishers have no reason to support Nintendo & their audience. Nintendo has to give them a reason why & break the cycle of no western third parties-no audience.
He was only talking about the CPU, & an ARM CPU can surpass the ones in the PS4 & XB1.
And why should they do that if, for the last few years, they've been given no reason to do so? Again, Nintendo is the only one who can break the cycle.
He said that the CPU for the NX (Console) surpasses the ones found in the PS4 & the Xbox One.
That the CPU is noticeably better than the PS4's and XboxOne's but still not impressive to her or him.
What if Nintendo could support android games on nx and BC. Wouldn't they have a Hugh library at the launch of the console?
If Nintendo would close a deal with google, it could mean you have a hugh market already in your pocket.
It would also solve this kind of solutions:
